Jolie Holland + Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside @ Cabaret Mile End

Super Hospital construction starts overnight

Residents living near the MUHC Super Hospital construction site are getting ready for more dust and dirt. The next phase will have construction continue overnight.

In order to improve access to the hospital, Decarie Boulevard will be widened to five lanes from three lanes. But that also means rebuilding a railway underpath. In order to not disrupt CP rail's services, the work must be done between seven p.m. and five a.m. 

This leaves no relief for nearby residences. The Glen Yards area is already fed up with the disruptions the building has caused.  However, this phase is expected to be completed by November.
